These two are in principle independent, though a potential sponsor
will appreciate when you have your key signed.

In this case other means of proving your ID *may* be accepted, but
of course this way it will be more difficult for you to provide
sufficient evidence of your identity.

In the end this is up to the DAM to decide.

You should try to provide proof as good as you can. For instance,
a passport is better than a reader card of your local public library :-)

This certainly helps.

There does not seem to be a debian member in Indonesia yet.
Please register on the key signing coordonation page. There is
also the possiblity to meet debian people travelling to
Indonesia. If you have a sponsor he can have an eye on the
travel announcements of other debian members. On the other hand
you should try to meet debian people in case you are travelling
abroad.
Anyway, this should not discourage you from applying to debian if you
are motivated to work with us. You should just allow yourself
some time looking for someone to sign your key before going
the other way.
Good luck -Ralf.
